Abstract

Low corn prices have farmers scrutinizing their nutrient dollar return on investment (ROI). A recent University of Nebraska–Lincoln study examines phosphorus (P) application level ROI in continuous corn over six years. The most cost‐effective method of fertilizer P use proved to be a P‐replacement approach with the P rate equal to the P removed from the previous harvest. The research also found that maintaining soil P availability levels above 25 ppm (Bray‐1) wasn't justified.
